Abstract
A multi-segment dental implant may include an apical segment including apical external threading at least partially surrounding the apical segment, wherein the apical segment defines a connection aperture including an coronal shoulder. The multi-segment dental implant may include a coronal segment including coronal external threading at least partially surrounding the coronal segment and terminating in a non-knife-edge apical skirt. The multi-segment dental implant may include a connector constructed and arranged to connect the apical segment and the coronal segment.
Claims20
A multi-segment dental implant comprising:
- an apical segment comprising an apical end and apical external threading at least partially surrounding the apical segment, wherein the apical segment defines a connection aperture comprising internal threading and an apical shoulder seat;
- and
- at least one coronal segment comprising coronal external threading at least partially surrounding the coronal segment and terminating in an apical skirt, the coronal segment further comprising a coronal end, a coronal end shoulder, and an apical end shoulder and connector constructed and arranged to connect to the connection aperture.
A multi-segment dental implant comprising:
- an apical segment comprising an apical end and apical external threading at least partially surrounding the apical segment, wherein the apical segment defines a connection fixture aperture comprising a coronal shoulder;
- at least one coronal segment comprising coronal external threading at least partially surrounding the coronal segment and terminating in an apical skirt, the coronal segment further comprising a coronal end, a coronal shoulder;
- and
- a connector affixed to the at least one coronal segment, the connector being constructed and arranged to connect to the connection fixture aperture, wherein the connector and the connection fixture aperture comprise complimentary profiles relative to one another to facilitate substantially uniform contact between the coronal shoulder seat and the coronal shoulder.
A screw-less multi-segment dental implant comprising:
- an apical segment comprising an apical end and apical external threading at least partially surrounding the apical segment, wherein the apical segment defines a connection fixture aperture comprising a coronal shoulder;
- at least one coronal segment comprising coronal external threading at least partially surrounding the coronal segment and terminating in an apical skirt, the coronal segment further comprising a coronal end, a coronal shoulder;
- and
- a connector;
- the connector being constructed and arranged to connect to the connection fixture aperture of the apical segment and the at least one coronal segment, wherein the connector and the connection aperture comprise complimentary profiles relative to one another to facilitate substantially uniform contact between the coronal shoulder seat and the coronal shoulder.
